The Day I Met Marie

Cliff Richards

Imaging a still summer's day.

When nothing is moving.

Least of all me.

I lay on my back in the hay.

The warm sun was soothing.

It made me feel good.

The day I met Marie.



The sound of her whisper hello.

Came tiptoing softly into my head.

I opened my eyes kinda slow.

And there she was smiling.

It made me feel good.

The day I met Marie.



With the laughing eyes.

She'd toss her hair and tantalize.

She came to touch me then she's gone

Just like a summer breeze.



I remember her kiss

So soft on my brow

And the way that she said

Baby go to sleep now

Baby go to sleep now



I woke with the chill in the air

The warm sun no longer hung in the sky

I reached out but she was not there

She'd gone where she came from

But I still feel good

To think i've known Marie

With the laughing eyes

She'd toss her hair and tantalize

She came to touch me then she's gone

Just like a summer breeze
